Practical guide
How to use Image Resizer
Image Resizer creates a new image at exact pixel dimensions. It is useful for thumbnails, profile images, CMS limits, email assets, and responsive-image preparation.
Step by step
- Choose an image and review its original dimensions.
- Enter a new width or height and keep aspect ratio enabled unless intentional stretching is required.
- Select a format, resize, inspect the preview, and download the result.
Example
Input
2400 × 1600 image resized to 1200 px wideResult
1200 × 800 image when aspect ratio is preservedHow it works
The source is decoded and redrawn onto a Canvas with high-quality image smoothing. The new canvas is then encoded as PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
Important limitations
- Enlarging an image cannot recreate detail absent from the source.
- Very large output dimensions are limited to protect memory and browser stability.
Frequently asked questions
Why did the height change when I edited width?
Keep aspect ratio calculates the matching dimension to prevent stretching.
Does resizing remove metadata?
Canvas re-encoding normally drops original metadata; use Metadata Remover when that is the explicit goal.
